   This was a great experience! When we were taken to our table (which we reserved through OpenTable) they had a nice handwritten birthday card for my mom. So sweet! And the food was of course fantastic!

   We have always enjoyed eating at this location and the one in Irvine. The service and food is always good, and wanted to come here to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, my birthday and several school recognition rewards my daughter earned this week. When they realized we were celebrating the server brought over some fake rose petals and a little birthday card ( very sweet) and some Habana placards to take home ( kind of odd). Usually the server brings a special dessert and candle at the end of the meal and instead brought the check. I didn’t order anything because I thought my husband had it covered. But I guess he thought they would just bring it, and when they didn’t, he asked if we would take dessert to go so we could put a candle on it … hint hint… but they adjusted the bill to charge us for the dessert…. Again odd since they usually just bring it out at no charge when celebrating a birthday. I’m not sure I’d come back here for a celebration. I also think $15 for a tiny piece of flan is ridiculous.

   Went for Mother’s day 3 course dinner. Easily one of the best dinner experiences. Server was very attentive and super nice! Food tasted amazing. Ambience was perfect. A little pricey but definitely worth it for the overall experience you get. Would love to come back again!

   I had an amazing experience at Habana - Costa Mesa. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. The floor manager, Milton, stopped by our table multiple times to check in on us and make sure we were enjoying our experience. We felt welcomed and were always attended to which was really nice. We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend.

   I went here for the first time not knowing what to expect, but I must say I was very pleased with everything that was presented to me in the restaurant. Kindest employees that make you feel welcome, fast service, and incredible food and presentation.

   It was our first time to dine at Habana. The service was great from the reception desk, to the waiter and server. We enjoyed the drinks and the food were delicious. For appetizers, we ordered the Crab Cake and the Mariscos Fritos. And for our main dish, we had the Paella, El Churrasco, and the Ropa Vieja and all in big servings. Very lively place and people seemed very happy and enjoying it, too.
